Advanced Shoulder Surgery
Doctor Butzen has developed advanced techniques and procedures for shoulder surgeries. After shoulder arthroscopy surgery, he records a custom video to be used to improve communication with the patient and other members of the care team (physical therapist, primary care physician, etc).
If shoulder replacement surgery is necessary, he uses the latest in 3D mapping technique to most accurately place the implants, which has been shown to improve longevity.
